In the late 1990s, the real estate industry had not yet emerged.
The Tianhe Building was planning a river view room. Ji Huai's eyes lit up as soon as he walked in. This would be a prime location in the future.
One thousand and eighty one square meters of fine decoration would have been a bargain twenty years later, but now it is still five or six times the per capita income.
"This way, you two, please." The sales lady raised a well-placed smile and made a gesture.
Ji Huai hugged the little guy and walked forward openly. Ai Qiao, who was following him, didn't show anything on his face, but he was still a little embarrassed.
After all the calculations, the two of them only had less than 20,000 yuan.
It feels like you only have money to buy a Chery QQ, but you walk into a 4S store and want to buy an Audi.
"Our property has a view of the Yunan River in front of it, and a top-grade hospital will be built around it. In the next few years, land will be acquired to build a playground and a subway station. After that, the price will definitely rise. It is very cost-effective to buy now."
"Look here..."
…
The sales lady took the two people up to the 16th floor. She introduced the house while looking at it, and at the same time she quietly observed the two people.
She found that the man was more interested in the house and kept asking various in-depth questions. On the contrary, the woman beside him didn't say much. She looked at the room from time to time and sometimes stopped talking.
The cute child lay on the man's shoulder like a dependent, hugging his neck intimately.
These subtle observations allowed her to quickly locate the target and work harder to introduce it to Ji Huai. As for that woman, she might not have any rights at home, just to give birth to and take care of the children.
“The master bedroom is equipped with a bathroom, and the two secondary bedrooms are large enough. The apartment faces south. This apartment is very popular. It is enough for a family, and there is no need to replace it in the future. It is done in one step. We also used environmentally friendly materials for the decoration, which is safe and healthy. …”
"Yeah." Ji Huai nodded and did not continue to listen. He was already in this business, and he knew the twists and turns better than the sales lady.
"If you sign a contract today, you will get a 9.5% discount, and if you pay in one lump sum, you will get a 10% discount." After the sales lady finished speaking, she reminded, "Today is the last day of the discount, and the price will increase later."
Come on.
Also creates a sense of urgency.
Ji Huai put the little guy down, knelt down to look at him, and asked warmly, "Doudou, do you like it here?"
The little guy was wearing suspenders today and a little black hat, made of pink and jade. He looked at his father and then at the big house.
"Your name is Doudou, right?" The sales lady also knelt down and coaxed him in a soft voice, "Do you like this big house? You can live here with your parents in the future, and you can buy a lot of toys to play here. There is a big room for toys.”
As expected, this child is the favored one in this family.
If she coaxes the child well, she can successfully sign the contract and get the commission.
The little guy looked at his aunt, not knowing what she was talking about. As soon as he heard that there were toys, he nodded, looked at Ji Huai, and said incoherently, "Daddy, buy toys, big house buys toys."
Ji Huai looked at this little fool and knew that asking him would be in vain.
"There is also a kindergarten here. There are many children playing with toys with you." The sales lady continued to coax.
The little guy's eyes lit up, he reached for Ji Huai and pouted, "Buy, daddy, kid, I want..."
"Okay." Ji Huai responded.
The sales lady also smiled, feeling that she had succeeded and could prepare to sign the contract.
Unexpectedly, Ji Huai looked at his son and reminded in a low voice, "Then go tell your mother quickly and make her agree."
The little guy turned his head and looked at the woman who had been standing next to him.
The woman who had been ignored for a long time came into the sales lady's sight again, and she saw the little guy running towards her with short legs, hugging her legs, raising his head and saying softly, "Mom, buy, buy, kid." "
"There are utensils."
…
Not knowing what he was talking about, Ji Huai bent his index finger against his forehead and couldn't help but smile helplessly, but his eyes showed doting on his son.
"Buy it, mommy buys it." He started to act like a child making trouble unreasonably, merging his two fleshy hands and stretching forward.
I use this trick every time I go to buy toys, it costs money.
Only if you have money can you buy it.
"This is not about buying toys." Ai Qiao also had a headache. She looked at Ji Huai and said suggestively, "How about we go look at other apartment types?"
Now we are looking at the first set, is it about to be finalized
She felt a little dazed. After paying the money, they didn't even know where to get next month's rent, and the little one still had to drink milk powder.
In fact, she still wanted to take it easy, even if it meant leaving some emergency money, because she was afraid that the child would have a cold and fever and she would be short of money. Ji Huai was so anxious that he just said yesterday that he would buy it today.
This is not a small item, it requires a debt.
The sales ladies are all smart people, how could they not understand the meaning behind Ai Qiao's words? The man who dared to agree with us all the way didn’t have the right to make the decision
The hostess who had the power to make the decision had no intention of buying it directly.
Did she flatter the wrong person
The sales lady quickly changed the battlefield and said to Ai Qiao, "This is the best apartment type, with wide view and good light. The other remaining apartment types have their own disadvantages. If it is on the 23rd floor, the same good apartment type will be available every time." The price per square meter is RMB 80, which is the best value for money. You can take a closer look at this apartment type."
"I just took a look, it's pretty good." Ai Qiao smiled politely.
They are all foreigners and want a place to settle down more than anyone else, but they have to be calm and not impulsive.
Ji Huai is a bold person who likes to take a gamble, while Ai Qiao is a person who strives for stability and progress, and more or less wants to leave a way out for himself. After all, things are unpredictable.
"I'm not going to lie to you, I recommend it with good conscience." The sales lady introduced the layout and advantages of the entire house in detail.
Ji Huai occasionally echoed.
Ai Qiao is heartbroken but rational.
The only irrational one may be the little guy. He hugged his mother's calf and muttered, "Buy kids, mom, buy toys@##... Doudou wants kids@#@￥..."
From time to time, a few words of bird language were mixed in, making it difficult for people to understand, but he didn't care. He just talked and answered by himself, tinkering with his little head and staring at his big cute eyes.
The sales lady answered the phone and walked out. Ai Qiao looked at Ji Huai with bright eyes and asked softly, "Do you really want to buy it?"
"This house type meets our needs and is very good. The greening of the community is good and the surrounding facilities are also good. I think it can be bought. It may have investment value." Ji Huai also replied seriously.
"Then buy it." Ai Qiao finally chose to believe him. As for the investment value, she didn't understand or see it.
It was so hard in the past, why didn’t they come over
She has a home of her own and the family is together, no matter how hard it is, she still recognizes it.
The sales lady walked in, expecting to persuade the hostess, but she didn't make any further comments or requests.
Ai Qiao smiled slightly and said, "We think it's pretty good."
For everything else, she listened to Ji Huai.
The sales lady was stunned, with a smile that couldn't stop her lips, and took the two of them down to sign the contract.
While walking back, Ji Huai held the little guy in one hand and held Ai Qiao in the other, and suddenly half-jokingly asked, "When will a hospital and school be built here?"
The sales lady was slightly startled, then quickly reacted and said vaguely, "The documents have been issued and the city is being planned."
Ji Huai laughed out loud, "Really?"
Whether it is now or in the future, the facilities around the house are a major selling point, but many of them are deceptive and will not be built at all, or will not be built in a short period of time.
This land has not actually been included in urban planning, otherwise it would not be sold at this price.
The sales lady hadn't been there for a long time, and she felt a little guilty, so she forced a smile and nodded.
Ji Huai laughed again and did not continue to embarrass her. He turned to tease his son.
When signing the contract, Ji Huai and Ai Qiao were very easy-going, but she didn't dare to take it lightly at all and laughed aloud the whole time.
She couldn't see through this family. The woman seemed to care about nothing and her status in the family was not low. The man seemed to be casual about everything and easy to talk to, but he was a little unpredictable and not easy to fool at all.
Even this kid seems to be a little clever.
There are a lot of procedures to go through, and after a lot of trouble, it can be considered settled.
They have gone from a people with small savings to a people with huge debts, and the interest rates are really high for thirty years.
Ai Qiao's body hurts so much.
So much money.
"Society continues to develop, and inflation can offset a lot." Ji Huai simply explained to her.
Of course, he was looking at it from the perspective of decades later. Now, no one expected that the domestic economy would make such a big leap.
Ai Qiao couldn't understand what he meant either.
Seeing that she was worried that he would be under great pressure, Ji Huai said to him from time to time, "Don't work too hard. Let's pay it back slowly. When Doudou goes to school, I will go to work and we will pay it back together."
"Don't think too much, it's not a big problem." He comforted her instead.
Ai Qiao didn't say anything, she just looked at him with a distressed look on her face, and then looked at her son who was running all over the floor. Ever since he changed his house, he had been running from one room to another.
Playing catch and seek is more fun, but there are many places to hide.
"It's all small things, they will be paid off." Ji Huai held up her face, looked into those beautiful eyes, couldn't help but kissed her bright red lips, and raised his eyebrows, "What does this kind of house mean to me? From now on, I will buy you a villa to live in, so you don’t have to go to work. You can hire a nanny and a driver at home.”
"You're talking big words again." Ai Qiao couldn't help but curl up her lips, attacking him, "Before, you said you would start a business after resigning from the factory, open your own factory, and become a big boss."
He also said that she should be the boss's wife.
"Yeah." Ji Huai didn't feel guilty at all, but said, "But there is no future in opening a factory. I have to invest in a lot of equipment and rent a space. I want to open a decoration company."
Aiqiao: "?"
"Think about it, now that I have my own business, why don't I open a decoration company? If I take over the project, I can find whichever type of work I need, and I can pay wages or share it." He became more and more excited as he talked, planning for the future.
Just as he was about to continue speaking, the little guy hiding in the second bedroom shouted, "Daddy, come and grab the nest and hide."
"Catch the nest."
"Here we come, hide away." Ji Huai said happily, fooling his son casually, and continued to say to her, "You don't have to drive too much, I will rent a small place, hang up a sign, and simply decorate it. The main thing is We can do it in community buildings or single-family buildings, or in small suites. We should take the formal route and start on a small scale, what do you think?"
Aiqiao is thinking.
On the other end, the little guy shouted again, "Daddy, come and find me."
"I know you're in the cupboard, hurry up and find another place." Ji Huai didn't even look back, and said directly. The little guy stopped talking, and then there was another collision sound, and he ran very fast.
outside the door.
Ai Qiao agreed to Ji Huai's plan, still saying the same thing, "I believe in you and am willing to support you."
"I know you work so hard for this family."
Suddenly, Ji Huai's heart sank, and Ai Qiao's eyes reflected his figure. He suddenly hugged the person in his arms, lowered his head and kissed her fiercely.
He walked into the room all the way and rolled on the bed.
Ai Qiao was still worried about her son. Ji Huai directly blocked her mouth and said with a straight face as if he was teaching a little kid, "Pay attention!"
"Well… "
Second bedroom.
The plump lump was hiding under the table, his little eyes rolling, and his chubby hand covering his mouth to prevent himself from making any sound for his father to notice.
Waiting and waiting, dad didn't come.
He didn't dare to speak, and his father would notice him if he spoke.
Gradually, he became sleepy, his little eyes slowly closed, and he opened them again to see if his father was coming.
Not long after, it closed gently again, and the little mouth moved.
He opened and closed it repeatedly, and finally leaned under the table and fell asleep.
The father he had been waiting for waited for his mother to fall asleep before looking at him, then turned around and went to sleep with his mother in his arms.
A dumpling was left sleeping under the table.
